Abstract

The current study aims to investigate the relationship between feminism tendencies, self- objectification, thin ideal internalization and gender identity in female students of Islamic Azad University of Sabzebvar (2018). This study was conducted by correlation-descriptive method. The population of this study included 1856 female students of Islamic Azad University of Sabzebvar. Using Morgan table, 318 persons were selected through relative stratified random sampling method. The data were collected using Questionnaires of Burgad & Hides Feminism (1991), Neil and Fredrickson's self-objectification (1997), Stick and Grass thin-idealization (1998) and Schertzer, Laufer, Silvera, & Brad McBride Gender identity (2008). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and Univariate regression methods in SPSS20. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between feminist tendencies and self- objectification; but there was a significant negative correlation with thin ideal internalization and a significant positive relationship with Gender identity. In addition, it was found that feminism tendencies accounted for about 5.4% of the variance in thin ideal internalization and 5.6% of the variance in Gender identity. Therefore, increase in feminism tendencies can reduce thin ideal internalization and increase the Gender identity of female students.
